AC/DC drummer sentenced with home detention after murder threats, drug possession
A New Zealand judge has sentenced AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd to eight months of home detention on charges of threatening to kill and drug possession.
According to a report from USA Today, the 61-year-old musician originally faced up to seven years in prison for the murder threats, but that was later revised due to his lawyer’s argument.

They also note, “Rudd did not comment on the sentence as he left the courthouse, simply telling reporters to ‘get a (expletive) job’ and batting away a microphone as he got into a waiting car.”
Last December, following his arrest for threatening to kill and drug possession, Rudd was detained by police for a second time after getting into a public altercation at a Coffee shop.
